Core Features

Audio Normalization

Uses the Web Audio API to analyze decibel levels in real-time, automatically adjusting volume for a consistent experience.

Smart Caching

Saves songs to IndexedDB. If you play that song again, it loads instantly from your disk instead of using bandwidth.

Privacy First

No account required. Playlists are stored locally, and search queries are routed through an anonymous proxy.

Troubleshooting

Music stops in background

Browser battery optimization often kills background tabs on mobile. Use the "Install App" (PWA) feature.

Song fails to load

Usually due to geo-blocking. Try skipping to the next song or searching for a generic version.

Windows App: "Unsafe File" Warning

This is expected for indie software. We don't buy corporate signing certificates from Microsoft. The app is virus-free and stable - simply click "Run Anyway".
